TUESDAY afternoon, about 2.30, as the
west-bound freight was rounding a
curve three miles this side of Glenn's
Ferry, a man was noticed on the track
about 100 yards ahead. The whistle
was sounded, but this he paid no atten-
ton to. However, he stepped off the
track and walked along the grade until
the engine was nearly abreast of him,
when he endeaVored to regain the
track. He stepped on the tie outside
the rail when the engine struck him,
throwing him about thirty feet and
causing instant death. He was brought
to Mountain Home, and an inquest
held. He was on his way from Rose
bud, Ills, to Walla; was machinist;
was German, and had lived but few
years in this country. He will be
buried to-day.-Range and Valley.
A SERIOUS accident occurred near the
railroad coal bin on Sunday morning
last. An engine which had just come
in with a freight train was taking coal
and James Thomas, the fireman, was
underneath cleaning out the fra-box,
when an engine which had just arrived
from the south backed down to the coal
bin for the same purpose. Dan Row
lands, the fireman, was running it, and
for some reason the lever would not
work, the result being that the engines
came together pushing the engine
which Thomas was under several feet,
bruising him considerably. 1t was first
thought he was hurt internally, but we
understand such is not the case. He
was sent to Ogden to the hospital on
Tuesday and is now getting along very
well. - Register.
